“Go to hell Barack.”

Thus concludes an advertisement currently running in the DC metro system.
The horror!
Naturally, the perpetually outraged are full of…well, outrage. Rep. Moran is throwing a conniption, while Metro manager Richard Sarles is not only “deeply offended,” but finds it “unfortunate” that the language in the ad is not recognized as an exemption to the First Amendment. You see, Metro is a state sponsored enterprise, and as such can’t go around rejecting political advertisements just because someone’s panties got twisted.
In fact, I’m rather tickled by the whole situation. We have here a government run transportation system known for its absolutely awful service that is whining about having to run an ad against a soon-to-be government run health care system.
